Huh, you know what? That actually gave me some inspiration here! I've been trying to figure out a new Fascist Argentina design to replace my older one, and now I think I have one that I can actually tolerate as meeting my standards:
Meet the new flag of the Argentine League, a fascist military junta that secretly has ties to the Nazi underground network ODESSA. The All-Seeing Eye within the red sun represents the regime's ever-present totalitarian surveillance of the populace, which the regime disguises as "the watchful eye of the benevolent guardianship of the state".
And since it's been a long while from my last big flag post here, I have a few other flags I've made a while ago to share as well:
First up, two different versions of a National Synarchist Mexico flag; I can't remember exactly where I got the overall design inspiration from, but I made these two versions that swap out the red and green sections for each other because I couldn't decide which looked better. I'll let you guys decide which you prefer.
The next flag is another Mexico flag, this one being for a Catholic Mexican state after a second Cristero War. By the way, both this flag and the Synarchist flags above were prompted by the Man the Guns DLC for Hearts of Iron 4: the
Mexico Focus Tree has
quite a few divergent paths that you can take, and results may vary depending on your choices. The flag designs for Mexico, however, like as usual for Paradox Studios, are quite terrible (the Mexican Soviet Republic flag, in particular, is
literally just a red field with a gold-colored map of Mexico slapped on. Incidentally, that path is also the meme path where Trotsky can take over Mexico).
Lastly, with yet another HoI4-inspired redesign, here's my rendition of the Communist flag for Portugal, or "Maximalist Portugal" as it's known in-game. My design is actually not that too far off from the in-game flag design, with me just adding a little bit more detail and colors to clean it up some; the original in-game flag just had the yellow circle with the clenched-fist slapped directly onto the green-red division, with the inner section of the circle being red also; I felt that this was a little unbalanced in favor of the red, so I added in the Portuguese blue as a balancing agent, along with a black outline for the yellow circle to soften the garish contrast of the yellow against the green and red, along with a white outline for the black one to further balance the contrast, plus a white dividing line to separate the green and red for the same purpose.
So that's it for tonight's flags! Sorry it's been a while since I last posted any, but I'm kinda sputtered out on new flags to design. I probably won't have any big mega-posts with tons of new flags to share in the future; if anything, they'll probably just be one-offs with just one particular flag or so. Still, until next time!
